Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with chicken, cucumber and egg? Prepare the products. Chicken fillet can be taken either fresh, or already cooked, boiled or baked, like mine. Boiled eggs will also be needed. It's better to take a more substantial salad, like an Iceberg or a Frieze.
Step 2:
I used baked fillet. How to bake fillets? Wash the meat and dry it well. Salt it well from all sides, you can also coat it with any spices (I have paprika). Wrap the fillets in foil and place them in a baking dish. Bake in the oven at 180 ° C for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size of the piece. Cool the finished fillet and cut into cubes.
Step 3:
Wash the cucumber, dry it and cut it into rings. Be sure to try it, whether it is bitter — such a fruit will spoil the whole salad. The skin of a cucumber, if it is not rough, does not have to be cut off.
Step 4:
Pre-boil the eggs. How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. Cut the peeled eggs into rings.
Step 5:
Wash the salad and divide it into leaves. Put them on paper towels and dry them thoroughly — excess moisture will make the finished dish unappetizing.
Step 6:
Take a flat plate. Tear the salad leaves on it with your hands. It is important to do this with your hands, from contact with a knife, lettuce oxidizes faster and wilts.
Step 7:
Put the chopped chicken fillet on top.
Step 8:
Then put the cucumber and egg slices. You can also add red onion sliced with feathers to the salad.
Step 9:
Season the salad with mayonnaise. Do this immediately before serving, otherwise the vegetables will release juice, and the greens will fade quickly. Enjoy your meal!
If you use fresh fillet, then cut it into small pieces, and then fry in a small amount of vegetable oil for 10 minutes.
Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
